What should I say, DSL looks really good and I want to use it.

After successful Frugal Instalation I don't want to put in at every start:
- Xvesa: xserver
- USB mouse: NO
- IMPS/2 mouse: YES
- screen resolution: 1024 x 768 pixel
- color depth: 32 bit
- own dpi ?: no
- Keyboard: de

It would be great to safe it on the cf card as default setting.

Is this possible?

What can I do to use default settings or something else?

Thanks.

I made 2 partitions in CF. We can use hda2 for Backup/Restore by using cheatcode "restore=hda2"  Below is a code sample in /mnt/hda1/boot/grub/menu.lst

Code Sample
title DSL fb1024x768
kernel /boot/linux24 root=/dev/hda1 quiet apm=off acpi=on vga=791 noapic noapm dma noscsi frugal mydsl=hda2 restore=hda2
initrd /boot/minirt24.gz

I am working with LILO (not Grub) and it is working too.

I used the DSLpanel from the desktop and clicked on the Backup/Restore icon. Afterwards I put in the dedicated device (in my case sda1). The backup.tar.gz file was written! Then I copied the file backup.tar.gz in the same folder on hda1 like minirt24.gz is.
Then I changed the dedicated call (initrd) up in the lilo.conf from minirt24.gz to backup.tar.gz.
After reboot NO DSL X Setup comes up any more.

I am surprised and happy :-)

Thanks again.
